The Top Spin franchise has always seemed geared toward the more hardcore tennis enthusiasts by incorporating a low tolerance for imperfection, but rewarding tenacious racquet-jockeys with outstanding shot control and a wealth of minute options. In Top Spin 3, the unforgiving-yet-detailed controls return, bringing with them a few new tricks, a bunch of licensed tennis pros and music, and an intuitive, precise character creation system.
While GameSpy's reception of Top Spin 2 could probably best be characterized as lukewarm, Top Spin 3 may surpass its predecessors this time out.
